Make the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

In the equation y = -5x - 2/3, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2/3.

For this case we have that the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

[tex]y = - \frac {2} {3} -5x[/tex]

Reordering:

[tex]y = -5x- \frac {2} {3}[/tex]

So, we have to:

[tex]m = -5\\b = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]

Answer:

The slope is -5
